Ship of Fools esoteric exercises in mobile computing
For two days the ship of fools cruises between Giardini and
S.Zaccaria, emanating a cacophony of sounds and projections
at night. Replaying it in a different time scale at a
different time. A layer of technological reality usually
hidden is accessed by mediation into sound and flicker.
The whole of mankind is voyaging through the seas of time on
a ship, a small ship. Meanwhile our ship drifts aimlessly
and we never reach the harbor. We do little more than prod
keyboards and idly scratch noses, but volume for volume, the
decaying grease monster can?t complete.
Forbidding ingredients include clicks, massive distortion, a
regular pulse, free improvisation., a duration well over 24
hours, and irresponsible sound pressure levels.
